With customer expectations growing for digital businesses, the need to leverage artificial intelligence in an agile way is crucial to sustain growth in uncertain climates. According to Nimbus Ninety’s 2021 Digital Trends Report, the number one challenge for organisations serving customers effectively is a lack of ability to deliver a consistent experience across all channels. At the same time, many businesses struggle with excess costs, frequent outages, and a limited capability to contextualise each individual customer’s experience.

Emerging AI technologies are driving the capability to deliver an experience across multiple channels that is seamless, efficient and personalised. Organisations must find ways to engage and serve clients, while improving both the customer and employee experiences. The modern contact centre promises to drive omnichannel experience, through links to CRM systems, scalability and integrations with AI-driven data analytics tools.
